About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Style Parkland
Par 71
Length 6435 yards
Slope 125
Rating 69.5

Tubac Golf Resort is home to 27 holes of golf that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The resort is most famously known for providing the set for the golf movie "Tin Cup." It was most likely chosen for its lush landscape of mature trees and cottonwood groves along with its dry, temperate climate. The Otero/Anza combination features some tricky water hazards. The par-3 ninth hole on the Anza nine has an island green similar to the notorious 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass. The ninth hole on the Otero nine features an expansive lake that runs alongside the left side of the green. In addition to the three golf courses, Tubac Golf Resort also features an extensive practice facility with a driving range, putting green, and practice bunker.

First Class

This is always a great time playing Tubac the course is in excellent condition despite being a very hot summer in Arizona. Make sure you stop by the bar for a cold beer and try the freshly made chips and dip!

Nice course, great staff

All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Course was nice with some great views. Fairways pretty tight. Sand traps(which I found plenty) were not in great shape, but understandable due to the rain they’ve been getting. Can’t wait to get back out there next week!

Great time

Always enjoy playing this course. Fairways were in great condition, the difficulty varies from hole to hole so it doesn’t get repetitive. Will be back soon.

Great Course Needs Some Tweaks

I’ve played here often and have a few observations. Customer service is not a big focus at this course. The employees there are sorely lacking in simple customer service skills. The guy in the pro shop for example… I arrived around 20 minutes before my scheduled time. He was checking in a player who was apparently an employee. While I waited, he and the employee were bantering and shooting the breeze while I waited almost 15 minutes. I ultimately had no time to warm up at all because of that. Someone also needs to teach the guy how to use their computer. There’s a long delay every time I go there.

Then there are the guys at the starter station. If I book my round last minute, they never have my information and are always very confused by it. Another time, I arrived early and the guy started ranting about me and my playing partner being late (we were not late). I offered to show him my confirmation email but he wasn’t interested. He only cared about ranting at me.

The course is one of my favorites. It is beautiful and has lots of animals and gorgeous scenery. But there’s an obvious culture of sup-standard customer service. Sometimes it is outrageously bad. At best it is merely acceptable.

Tubac

Heard a lot about this course as it was used to film Tin Cup. Apparently the course that has the “plaque” and was used in the movie is closed. Would have been nice to know as this is why I book it.

Still loved the course.

Tubac

Went to play cause everyone said that was where Tin Cup was filmed. That particular course was closed. But that info wasn’t readily available. Would be nice to know if particular. I used are closed to properly plan. Sometime you want to play a different course that you had in the past.

Too many dead areas in the fairways

I have been playing golf at Tubac for decades, before Tin Cup fame. The fairways on the Anza/Otero loop were in the worst condition i have ever seen. Very large areas with dead grass and none of it marked as ground under repair. One several of the "fairways" all there was there were a few patches of green in a sea of brown. The greens were, by and large, in good condition with mud and standing water around several of the greens, so water does not seem to be the problem.
